Filed: 1905-08-28
Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 17,365. Marks, G. C., [Streich, F.]. Aug. 28. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Moulding dough.-Dough is kneaded and its surface stretched at the same time. The timbers F, fixed on the table E, carry mould boards f<3>, pivotally attached to them and arranged at an acute angle both to the timbers themselves and to the sloping side members D with steel scrapers d<1>, forming part of a frame, which also comprises end members c<3>. The shaft B is driven by bevel-gearing a<5>, b<1> from the shaft a<2> so that the pitman b<4>, attached to the disk b<2> and to the ends c<3>, imparts motion to the frame, which is caused by means of parallelogram-shaped camgrooves h', provided with shoulders h<2> to prevent reversal of the spring-pressed rollers g<2> attached to the sides D, to move along the timbers F, then away and back, and again up to the timbers. The dough is thus scraped towards the timbers, rotated by the translation of the frame, and acted on by the boards f<3>. To form long dough shapes, the dough as it comes from the table E is delivered on to an endless table driven by sprocket gearing from the shaft a<2> and having an adjustable pressure board J pivotally mounted above it.

Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 21,237. Beardmore & Co., W., and Bremberg, A. Sept. 25. Sights and methods of sighting.- Relates to single-screw elevating and sighting gear of the kind described in Specification No. 7951, A.D. 1902, and consists in providing independent operating means at two points, and clutch devices preventing movement applied at one point from moving the gearing at the other point. Fig. 5 shows a sectional rear elevation of one form of elevating-gear, and Fig. 4 shows a corresponding view of the sighting-attachment. Pivotally mounted on the trail A of the gun is a block A', which carries a nut A<2> and also receives an externally and internally threaded s!eeve C, which engages with a second sleeve C<1> surrounding a spindle C<2> attached by means of a cross-head C<3> to the gun cradle D<2>. The gun can be elevated or depressed to bring the sight on the target by a hand-wheel B<4> which operates gearing B<3>, B. The gun and sights are moved simultaneously by means of a hand-wheel H, which operates through gearing D4, D3 to move the gun ; while by means of a worm E, worm-wheel E<1>, shaft E<2>, worm E<3>, Fig. 4, wormwheel G, and shaft G<1>, a pinion J<1> is operated, and engaging with a rack J<2> moves the sight. The two sets of gearing are so proportioned that the sight moves through the same angle as, but in the opposite direction to, the gun, and is thus kept on the target. The sight is levelled when the carriage is on uneven ground by means of a worm K<3>, and au arm K<4>, which serve to incline a guide K<1>, carrying the sight bar J<2>, and pivoted at K<2>, to the gun cradle. The teeth of the bar J<2> and pinion J<1> are formed as circular arcs struck from K<2> as centre so that correct gearing is assured. A special clutch H<1>, Fig. 5, of the kind described in Specification No. 20,194, A.D. 1903, prevents rotation of the shaft of the handle H when the handle B' is operated, and a similar clutch may be attached to the shaft of the handle B<4> in cases where friction is insufficient to prevent its rotation. The invention may be applied to elevating-gear in which the intermediate sleeve C is dispensed with.

Abstract: 21,634. Sepp, C. Sept. 30. Door closing and opening apparatus.-Relates to automatically-operated bulkhead doors of the type in which the door falls by its own weight when released by a float and simultaneously effects watertight closure. The door B' is suspended by a wire rope from the drum 8, Fig. 6, which is normally prevented from rotating by a pawl 30 on a countershaft 23, but can be set free by means of a jaw clutch 20 operated by a suitable link-work from the float A. The door slides in grooves formed in rotatable rods 9 and carries stops 10, Fig. 7, which come into contact with inclined plates 11 on the guide rods 9 when the door has fallen nearly to the bottom, thereby pressing the door tightly against the angle-irons C of the doorway. The door is raised by rotating the shaft 28<1> which passes through the bulkhead and can be actuated from either side. In order to facilitate raising, the stops 10 may be first unscrewed. The float A is connected to the rod 1 which operates the clutch mechanism by means of a sliding connexion so that any downward movement of the float consequent upon the rolling of the ship does not affect the position of the clutch. A second float may be provided to enable the door to be worked from the adjacent compartment. A supplementary gear 35, 36, 37 may be fitted by means of which the door can be raised from the deck or any other point, to which the shaft 35 may pass. A barrier or danger signal may be operated by the same float as that which effects the release of the door.
